Tell you what, man, I would like to get down there at some point, if nothing else just to grab some beers and catch up.

True facts. If you ain't willing to drive an hour, you ain't Texan.
guess I'm a Texan.
You know, there's plenty of room down here.True facts. If you ain't willing to drive an hour, you ain't Texan.guess I'm a Texan.
I'll just transport Brooklyn down there, forgotten realms 4th ed style.
That's at 80mph, mind you.
Ha! I was gonna say, Google Maps says it's 45 minutes if you somehow can keep it at 60 the whole way. Last Saturday we took Cora to Discovery Green and it took over an hour, because we were lucky to average 30 mph.
"15 minutes" sounds like the way my friend from East Texas reckons travel times:
"How far is your house from the office?" "Five minutes."
"How far from Houston to Nacogdoches?" "Five minutes."
"How far from your bedroom to the bathroom?" "Five minutes."
Dude's like freaking Rain Man when it comes to numbers!

Says the guy who makes an 8-hour round trip for a 4-hour game... Not that I didn't appreciate it, mind you!

Last Saturday all of the freeways were under construction around downtown. The ramp from 45 to 59 was closed, I-10 was closed at the 45 overpass, and they have a ton of stuff going on east of downtown.
Driving home from HWY 6 and Bellaire to Wayside and 45 took twenty-five minutes yesterday, without construction.

[Granted I've heard the Dallas-Fortworth area can get ridiculously congested as well.]
Yeah, I saw some show based in NY and one of the participants was b$%*!ing about a three hour commute over a distance that takes me twenty minutes to drive in Houston, non-peak time, and probably forty five minutes at rush hour.
Gary rides a bike, so I'm sure he can cover more ground faster than most, usually.
Lucian, I'm in Bear Creek and work in Katy. If you want to meet for a beer sometime we can talk gaming and maybe set something up.
Cool -- shoot me a note when you get settled in.
Welcome to Houston!
Welcome! I could probably run a weeknight game with shorter sessions, but my time on weekends is unfortunately fairly well jammed up for the foreseeable future. If you guys wanted to meet up for a beer or something after work one day, we could consider our options.
Ouch.
Hmmm. There's a Guadalajara off the I-10 feeder not far west of 610. That might be a bit far south and east for Lucian, though. Maybe you guys know somewhere further north?
OK, if I need to make a command decision, I'll be at Clay's tomorrow evening at 1900 hours. If either/both of you guys want to meet me for a burger or just a beer and talk gaming, please join me or RSVP with an alternative time/place.
